Gary Brooker - Old Manhattan Melodies lyrics

rate me

(Gary Brooker/Pete Sinfield)

Wouldn't changed a single word

Or touch a single note

Of those old songs those New York Songs

Of love that we once wrote

And though it hurts now we're apart

And different dreams pursue

Fragments of those songs remain

In whispered shades of blue

Old Manhattan melodies

Echo through my broken heart and call me back to you

Old Manhattan melodies . . .

Why Oh why the echoes cry I only wish I knew

Lighthouse shine in Quarter time

And guide me from this coast

In case I run around once more

And meet you or your ghost

I 'ver tried I can't turn back the clock

Your ships too long at sea

A dream the river stole away

Oh Misty Melody ...

Old Manhattan melodies . . .

Echo through my aching heart and tell me you're still true

Old Manhattan melodies

Why Oh why the whole world cries I only wish I knew

Old Manhattan melodies .. .

Every note a memory some happy and some blue

Old Manhattan melodies . . .

Whisper through my lonely heart and call me back to you.
